LESSON 3.5 WIN IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Reflection:

What is our favorite sport? What do we do to win when we play?

Inspiration from the Holy Bible:

Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the
heavens. (Ephesians 6:10-12)

Inspiration from the Holy Qur'an:

“O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allah purifies whom He wills, and Allah is Hearing and Knowing.”
(Surah An-Nur 24:21)

Hadith:

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Satan (evil) said: By your might, O Lord, I will continue to mislead the children of Adam, as long as their souls are in their bodies. The Lord said: By my might and majesty, I will continue to forgive them, as long as they seek
my forgiveness.” (Musnad Aḥmad)

LESSON NR. 2.18 PERSEVERANCE

Once a decision is made, PNP members shall take legitimate means to achieve the goal even in the face of internal or external difficulties, and despite anything which might weaken their resolve in the course of time.

Reflection:

Can we share our story about a time when we encountered difficult
circumstances in carrying out an instruction or accomplishing a task? What did we do?

Inspiration from the Holy Bible:

I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)
Do not be afraid of anything that you are going to suffer. Indeed, the devil will throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will face an ordeal for ten days. Remain faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. (Revelation
2:10)

LESSON NR. 2.17 ORDERLINESS

PNP members shall follow original procedures in accomplishing tasks
assigned to them to minimize waste in the use of time, money and effort.

Reflection:

How do we describe a "busy" day? Are we able to accomplish everything that
we need to do during our assigned shift or time in the office?

Inspiration from the Holy Bible:

Indeed, the spirits of prophets are under the prophets’ control, since he is not
the God of disorder but of peace... but everything must be done properly and in order. (1 Corinthians 14:32-33,40)
